Meet Fred, a playful and lovable black Doberman with a passion for playing ball! At just 10 months old, Fred already tips the scales at 117 pounds, a true gentle giant. Despite his impressive size, Fred is all about fun and games, and he's the best ball player you'll ever meet. He never tires of a game of fetch, reliably dropping the ball at your feet every time, eager for the next throw.
Fred's journey hasn't been without its challenges. He was surrendered by his previous owners due to "littermate syndrome," a situation where he was frequently targeted by his sister. Despite the family's deep love for Fred, they had to make a difficult decision to keep his sister, who traveled better. This decision was heartbreaking, but it was made with Fred's best interests in mind.
Fred is a happy, goofy, and silly boy who seems to love everyone he meets. His joyful demeanor and excellent obedience make him a standout. He has an impressive recall and even when he chases squirrels, it's all in good fun—Fred wouldn't know what to do if he actually caught one!
Adding to his many charms, Fred is AKC registered, highlighting his pedigree and the quality of his breeding. This sweet, 11-month-old Doberman is the whole package. He’s neutered, vaccinated, and ready to find his forever home. Fred will thrive in an active family that can accommodate his size and energy levels. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving, and affectionate companion, Fred is your guy.
Come meet Fred with UDR and discover just how much joy and love this big-hearted Doberman can bring into your life.
